Abstract

Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) is a statistical approach widely used to analyze causal relationships between latent and observed variables. A key issue in SEM lies in selecting an appropriate parameter estimation method, as it strongly affects the accuracy and interpretation of results. Among the most common estimation techniques are Maximum Likelihood (ML) and Weighted Least Squares (WLS). This study aims to compare the performance of ML and WLS in estimating path coefficients within SEM analysis. Using simulated data generated with the simulateData() function from a predefined structural model, three scenarios are examined with sample sizes of 500 and 1000. Data transformation procedures are applied to ensure consistency before model testing. Each SEM model is then estimated using both ML and WLS, and the results are evaluated through Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA) values obtained from 100 replications. Findings indicate that WLS generally outperforms ML in terms of model fit and stability. In the first scenario with a sample size of 500, WLS achieves a lower average RMSEA (0.0141) compared to ML (0.0172). With a sample size of 1000 in the second scenario, both methods produce similar RMSEA values (0.009 for WLS and 0.0096 for ML), though WLS demonstrates lower variability. In the third scenario, also with a sample size of 1000, WLS records an average RMSEA of 0.0074 versus 0.0092 for ML. Overall, the results suggest that WLS is more effective and reliable than ML in providing accurate parameter estimates across different data conditions and sample sizes.

Therefore, an effective and efficient plagiarism detection system is necessary to address this problem. The aim of this study is to implement the Shingling algorithm and MD5 Fingerprint using Python to detect text similarity in student assignments. The data used in this research consists of Word documents (.docx) of academic assignments, such as essays and reports, collected from the Data Warehouse course. The methods used include text preprocessing, word-based shingle formation, and Jaccard Similarity calculation to measure the similarity level between documents. The research results show that the Shingling algorithm and MD5 Fingerprint are effective in detecting text similarity, even when there are variations in sentence structure or language use. Visualization of the results in the form of graphs facilitates the identification of documents with high levels of plagiarism, allowing for further action to maintain academic integrity. This system is expected to be a reliable tool for lecturers and institutions to monitor the authenticity of student writings in real-time.

Abstract

Persistent disparities in mathematics learning outcomes between urban and border-area schools underscore enduring structural inequities linked to limited access to effective, contextually appropriate digital learning environments. Although technological integration in education has expanded substantially, empirical research examining the pedagogical effectiveness of interactive computational platforms—such as those developed using R-Shiny—remains limited, particularly in geographically marginalized regions. This study investigates the effectiveness of R-Shiny-based interactive mathematics learning media in enhancing students’ conceptual understanding and learning achievement. A quantitative research design employing a pretest–posttest approach was utilized, supported by validated questionnaires administered to 101 tenth-grade students enrolled in senior high schools along the Indonesia-Timor Leste border. Data were analyzed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) to establish construct validity and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to test hypothesized relationships among learning motivation, student engagement, user satisfaction, conceptual understanding, and perceived academic performance. Descriptive statistics revealed consistent improvements in posttest scores relative to pretest results, signifying measurable gains in conceptual understanding. Moreover, SEM analysis indicated that learning motivation, student engagement, and user satisfaction each exerted positive and statistically significant effects on conceptual understanding, which in turn significantly predicted perceived academic performance. Collectively, these findings suggest that R-Shiny-based interactive media foster not only improved cognitive outcomes but also strengthen motivational and engagement-related processes that mediate mathematics learning in geographically disadvantaged educational settings.
